The One About Card Making . . .

So I thought it was about time that I shared some of the cards I've been making while I've got ten minutes and Alissia is asleep!  I haven't had much chance to blog since she was born, but I have been trying to keep up with everyone's blogs, I just haven't had a chance to leave any comments lately.  I'm sure that once we're in a better routine I'll have more time to do things!

First up is the card I made M for Valentine's Day.  I actually made it in the middle of January as my due date was the 3 Feb and I had visions of needing to be induced at two weeks late,, so I thought I'd just get prepared!

Next up is the one I've made Mum for Mothers Day.  I've actually had time today whilst Alissia has been asleep to make cards, and this was the one I've been wanting to make for ages.  Whilst I was in hospital M bought me some card making magazines, and I got the idea for this one from a few different cards in the mag, and merged it all together.  My Mum is really keen on making patchwork quilts and things at the moment, which is the theme for the card.

The last two cards are a thank you card for a gift that we were given for Alissia, and a congratulations card for my friend who has had the best news today!


Maybe next time I get a couple of hours I might do some scrapping, I've still got my Christmas Journal to finish before I can make a start on any baby photos!
